# How to make a Workstation take a Property into account for scheduling

A workstation can group different work orders by considering a property. A simple example is grouping them by color or dimensions.

**Note**: Before setting up a property to a workstation, go to Global rules and give a level of importance to "**Allow similar jobs**" in the **Dynamic priorities**.

To make a workstation take a property into account:

- Go to the **GANTT Timeline** and select the workstation you want to assign a property to consider. Right-click on it.
- A new window will appear; select **Workstation rules**.
- On the workstation level, look for **Allow similarity**. Check the box.
- Three new options will appear:

**Setup time for differing jobs (min)**:Here, you will add the time it will take to prepare a workstation so that it is ready to start working on another job with a different property.

**Type of similar jobs**: In this field, you will select which property the workstation needs to consider. You can learn how to add a [property to a product here](https://skyplanner.ai/docs/how-to-add-a-property-to-a-product/).

**Similar jobs in succession:** Here, you will give a level of importance to the property that will be taken into consideration in the dynamic priorities "**Similar jobs in succession**."

Finally, click **Save**.

Press the **King button**to see the changes applied.

Now, the selected workstation will consider the property and group jobs according to it and the dynamic priorities you have chosen.
